In a wonderful home nestled in the woods of White Rock Lake you’ll find the Courtyard on the Trail, noted for its privacy and natural surroundings, but still only a short hop to the business, art, entertainment and shopping areas of downtown and North Dallas. Decorated with elegant antique and modern furnishings, fine linens and art, the rooms and suite afford comfort, privacy and convenience.

Hi-tech leviathan on the road to Mandalay – well, on the canal, to be precise – close to Las Colinas business district and midway between downtown Dallas and Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. The plush Indonesian furnishings and proliferation of lobby greenery are striking features, while the guest rooms boast superb amenities, including a 24-hour gym and wireless high-speed access in all rooms. Hotel dining at Trevi’s is upscale and adequate, but the real gem here is Aperitif, which combines a top-shelf bar with a cyber café, allowing guests to merge onto the Internet Superhighway with a single malt scotch in hand. Big, lavish and typically Texan, and connected directly to the shops and eateries along Mandalay Canal.

This palatial former home of a cotton magnate has been lovingly transformed into a five-star, five-diamond hotel, favoured by countless bigwigs and luminaries. Everything here is breathtaking, from the amazing floral arrangements, to the antiques, to the surprisingly cosy atmosphere. Guests are always greeted by [name], and every room is appointed with fresh flowers, glossy magazines and a fluffy white robe with matching slippers. Cool, elegant linens and fluffy pillows make sleeping here more comfortable than at home – but quite a bit more expensive. If the company tab offers unlimited access to the luxe-life, splurge on dinner at the Mansion Restaurant – renowned chef Dean Fearing literally wrote the book on Southwestern cuisine, with sublime specialities in the lobster tacos vein. This hotel has been a magnet for the Dallas money set since it opened, and the Mansion Bar remains the best place in town to find boozed-up cattle barons and big-haired single socialites on the prowl for hubby numbers two, three, four…

ld-style Dallas grandee since 1924. Guest rooms are capacious and traditional (plenty of chintz and colonial hints), with heritage floors boasting extra business amenities. Under the stewardship of chef Wiley E Bates, the acclaimed Landmark restaurant specialises in upscale American: sample Angus 'cowboy’ steak with Yukon potato topped with smoked bacon, smoked salmon wrapped salmon steak or lobster martini of vermouth with poached Maine lobster. Don’t miss the opulent Champagne Sunday brunch either. The hotel bar, called The Library after its book-lined walls and high-backed leather chairs, remains one of the most popular piano bars in town. Handy location for the business district as well as Oak Lawn and Turtle Creek shops and galleries.
